With more than ten years’ experience in both studio and live settings, Nic Pope specializes in solving problems nobody else can solve. Whether it’s restoring an old tape, rackmounting an obscure piece of gear, or making hip-hop psychobilly crossover, he can do it. As a teen, Raised in the Bay Area, Pope taught himself several instruments, but always found that his forte was in making his bandmates drums or amps sound good. Pope’s first encounter with audio mixing was when he mixed front of house at age 16 — and he’s been hooked ever since. In his time at Different Fur, Pope has mixed STS9’s When The Dust Settles, recorded the famous Morning Benders session for Yours Truly, and helped build Studio B from scratch, among many other achievements. Pope admires and maintains Different Fur’s tradition of being a place where working-class musicians record elbow to elbow with superstars.
